800 years ago at All Saints Church in Hereford, England, a skillful carpenter carved this gentleman high up in the dark roof where nobody could see him. Five years ago they built an extra floor with bright lights for a restaurant.
“When I first saw you, my eyes said “You are my light.”
“When I first found you, my soul said, “You are my soul.”
Patience waited for you, gratitude gave thanks for you,
Poverty was ennobled by you, and filled with wealth.
Sometimes I come to your door, pounding on the wood.
Sometimes you come to my chest, knocking on my heart.”
